Lebanon's Hezbollah said it attacked northern Israel on Tuesday including with "explosive-laden drones", a day after an assault claimed by the Iran-backed movement killed two soldiers there.

Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged regular cross-border fire since Palestinian militant group Hamas's unprecedented October 7 attack on southern Israel sparked war in the Gaza Strip.

In recent weeks Hezbollah has stepped up its attacks, which it says are in support of Gazans and its ally Hamas, and Israel's military has struck deeper into Lebanese territory.

Hezbollah on Tuesday launched "explosive-laden drones targeting enemy soldiers and officers", the group said in a statement.

At the same time, other drones "targeted one of the Iron Dome (air defence system) platforms", the militants said, adding in separate statements that they carried out other attacks on northern Israel, including with guided missiles.

Israel's army said on Tuesday that two soldiers had been killed a day earlier in the north.

On Monday, Hezbollah claimed a drone attack on troops near northern Israel's Metula, with the Israeli military saying "a UAV (drone) was identified crossing from Lebanon" into the area.
